eek! It didn't come up for me right away but I clicked to browse the saddles and found them - whyyyyyy??? I have far better things to spend that extra few grand on than making my saddle uber patriotic!

Are these, like, something someone ordered without realizing how incredibly hideous they would be, and then refused to pay for them, or did devoucoux make them as a publicity stunt or fundraiser or something? Surely no one has been riding around in these saddles without being noticed....

I would never... EVER own one. But on a funny note if I was I'd also have a hard time deciding which one to go with... seeing as I have dual citizenship! "Hrrmmm do I want to be British today.. or am I feeling more American?"

Ugh, can you imagine trying to wash the blue stains out of your breeches?? And these probably look hideous after the flaps are good and worn out from the calf of your boot. Blurry stars probably turn into giant polka dots.
